It gives an overview of the theoretical foundations of SFL and its application through the lens of synthesis. The book discusses key areas such as grammatical metaphor and projection studies, providing a detailed analysis of primary research and mapping the research landscape. By examining 118 studies on grammatical metaphor and 66 studies on projection, it highlights the evolution and current trends in these fields. The book also reviews the application of appraisal in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) writing, emphasizing the need for methodological rigor and offering recommendations for future research. It addresses key questions regarding methodologies, sample sizes, and analytical frameworks, underscoring the emerging nature of EAP writing research within the appraisal framework. Furthermore, the book explores the application of SFL in translation studies, evaluative language in EAP writing, and systemic functional typology. Overall, this book is an invaluable resource for researchers and practitioners, offering insights into the current state of SFL research and its practical applications across various fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Winfred Xuan is an Assistant Professor and Programme Director at the School of Education and Languages, Hong Kong Metropolitan University.
